Happy Solez Organics{GIVEAWAY}

Monday, August 9th, 2010

So many items to consider for back to school!  Don’t stop at just clothes, backpacks, and books…my first thought when I saw these clever pouches from Happy Solez Organics was how perfect they would be for the little ladies entering in 5th grade on up.  Do you remember those awkward days of having to bring feminine products to school, or what about your toothbrush for after lunch, money, floss, your cell phone, breathe mints, deodorant, so many items a young lady needs to keep hidden from  the eyes of her peers.  Just fill er’ up and toss it in her backpack and she’s ready to start a new year, fresh and feminine!

Gorgeous looking right?  Can you think of the possibilities, endless items to put in the Happy Solez Sturdy Zipper Pouches, for us grown up ladies and the little girls just entering into the world of having to carry their entire bathroom with them wherever they go!  A cosmetic case, a toiletry bag, for travel, for the car, for home, for school…there’s nothing I love more than a versatile product, made from fresh & colorful fabrics, filled with all your favorite girlie things!

The one below is my favorite design, it’s bookmarked to buy for my niece for Christmas.  She’ll be 11 next year, lady-hood right around the corner, so Auntie will be preparing a Happy Solez Pouch filled with everything she’ll need to venture into her pre-teen years, hoping this special gift with make the transition a bit smoother, being prepared is the only way to go!

WeeSqueak {GIVEAWAY}

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

We have a wanderer on our hands.  Our two year old has no fear when it comes to strangers, swimming, trying new foods, and wandering away from us.  Our middle child is the follower, our youngest {Mr. A the two year old} is most definitely a leader!  So, needless to say, he scares us on an hourly basis!  The older boys love playing soccer or baseball or riding bikes, etc…in our front yard, while Mr. Wanderer is in his own little world roaming the back yard out of sight from everyone…oh boy!  Did you know there’s a shoe that helps you hear your child wherever he is in your house or yard??  Genius right??  These super fun shoes are for wearin’ and for finding thy lost child {or for cheating at hide and seek like T does!!}

We had an enjoyable night last week when this package arrived, a night of giggles and laughing at our two year old’s expense!  His new WeeSqueaks arrived in the mail {camo one below, as cute as can be!!} and little A LOVES shoes so he eagerly put them on, stood up, started for the back door…HEARD THE SQUEAKS…and abruptly stopped dead in his tracks.  He was so utterly embarrassed at the noises coming from his feet he had no clue what to do and wouldn’t move an inch!  We were hysterical of course! I’ve never seen anything so adorable!  To get him to finally move again, we ignored him for a bit and he slowly started walking as we giggled behind his back, and finally he was off!  With a smile that ranged from ear to ear, he was in love with his new shoes and the embarrassment quickly wore off!

Best part, we heard where he was at all times!  In the house, around the corner of the back yard out of sight…we heard his every step and it wasn’t a bit annoying, it was refreshing and relaxing to see how much fun he was having {entertaining his brothers as they squealed with delight watching their squeaky baby chase them} and to “hear” where he was at all times! Little  A has also recently developed a tip-toe type walk on occasion associated with his distaste of his feet touching grass and other different textures.  These shoes are fabulous for helping him walk correctly since he’s always willing to make the squeak which uses the sole of his foot, not his toes.  Read some of the client testimonials on the WeeSqueak home page to hear others mention how these clever shoes help with physical therapy, more wandering children, plus other accounts of how extremely durable, fashionable, and affordable they are.  From dressy to everyday wear, for around the house or showing off at the park, for every season and occasion, you’ll be surprised at how these little tiny shoes can bring so much sunshine and happiness to your wee ones!

GIVEAWAY!!  You pick…which WeeSqueak design do you love?  Let us know for your chance to win the pair of your choosing!  Contest ends in one week, good luck to all!!

CONGRATS TO OUR WINNNER, SHANNON!!!

pediped

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Noah is so close to walking, he barely needs my finger to hold onto these days.  We have been thrilled to be able to put his growing feet in his new pair of machine washablePediped shoes.  As most of us know from our pediatricians, the very best thing for your toddler to wear on his feet is nothing at all.  Well since that is not always safe, convenient or practical you chose the next best thing to bare feet right?  Pedipedhas developed a new spring line showing off its latest shoe technology in toddler shoe functionality and innovation.  Pedipeds shoes have flexible soles, are washable and have a memory foam technology now.  But what is really cool about their latest extension of features to their already fabulous shoe line is that they have created insoles for your child’s shoes that keep their little toes from smelling like hot summer sand box playing fun! ;-)   I know my kids love to go without socks so this is genius!

 

 

Kids nationwide are celebrating the launch of pediped® footwear’s Spring/Summer 2010 line of machine washable footwear. Thanks to this welcomed innovation, they now have the freedom to jump in any puddle that catches their attention, practice their running long jump until it’s medal-worthy and slip-slide through the mud on the way home from school. These machine washable shoes for kids 2-5 years of age will remain looking new as they are super-easy to clean. Wow!  One less thing to stress about in our busy day.

Moms and kids (as well as their siblings and classmates) will be relieved to know that this pediped® Flex line extension features DRYZ® technology which resists odor development and helps prevent stinky feet! DRYZ® insoles wick away moisture to help keep sweaty, little feet dry and comfortable. :-) Incredibly smart!

Designed with the active child in mind, this new machine washable collection features a lightweight, sporty construction. The durable footwear, built to take a beating, includes toe caps, heel caps, breathable webbing and reinforcements throughout. It also features pediped® footwear’s unique Flex Fit System which enables the fit to be customized and/or the duration of wear to be extended up to two months as the child’s feet grow.

 

pediped®footwear was launched in 2004 by Angela and Brian Edgeworth in their quest for the perfect soft-soled shoe for their first daughter. Exceptional quality, unsurpassed comfort and distinctive styling have made the award winning company one of the fastest-growing children’s footwear brands in the United States. pediped® footwear is sold in over 3000 stores in the United States and 40 countries worldwide with an offering of more than 120 designs for boys and girls between their two lines, Originals and Flex. Originals (soft-soled shoes for newborns to age 2+) and Flex (rubber-soled shoes for children 1-5 years) are available in EU sizes ranging from 17 to 29. In addition the company’s award winning footwear collections pediped® offers a range of accessories including tights and socks and coordinating hair clips.  They design smart shoes with your child’s comfort and development in mind.

Summer means easy convenient fun footwear right?  Checkout Nicholas’ newest pair of shoes from Keep Company!  We love these shoes because they are made for kids with velcro for the lace-fearing set.  They are cute as a button boat shoes, playground shoes, running in the sand shoes!   Plus the Kids Benten style has all the fun details of the adult version including the moccasin whipstitch and side lacing that makes them simply adorable on your child.  They are made of 100% Cotton canvas.  

Now for all us moms out there, Keep Company is especially for US ;-) “Keep is a shoe company, a clothing company, an amalgam of interests, a way of being, a force, a language, a family and many other things. Our kicks are for ladies, though sometimes our promos are unisex, and plenty of dudes rock our shoes in larger sizes. We work with people we respect, love and who make us laugh. We aim to keep things personal. We do everything the way we think it should be done. We pay attention to details.  We do Keep for all the women who have their game tight, who work hard to make things happen, who spread positivity and energy around them, who take care of their loved ones and most importantly take care of themselves. We make Keep shoes for those women who are tired of clown shoes, too many bells and whistles, and the misappropriation of the color pink.”  I love the attitude of this company :-)

The Benten Floral

This is my shoe.  It’s light, the cushion inner sole is plush, the fit is snug and soft and the shoes are just fun!  I can wear them casually with just about anything.   The boat shoe for the landlocked and coast-ally blessed alike, adorned with a moccasin whip stitch and side lacing.  Named for the goddess of everything that flows from water to knowledge to luck.

Celebrities rock Keep shoes too!  So they aren’t just for moms :-) Checkout their website for all the styles, accessories and apparel.
